Re: Best overlays on Stars low buy-ins? Advice please
Sadly, can't play party any more (f you Bill Frist), and can't move money to other sites for a few more weeks at least.

Re: Best overlays on Stars low buy-ins? Advice please
I like to muti-table the 45 max on Stars (not Turbos) They take about 1 1/2 hours to complete. I fire up 2 after the kids are in bed ~8:45 and I am usually in bed by 11 pm EST.

Re: Best overlays on Stars low buy-ins? Advice please
The best tournaments on Stars are the ones that have guaranteed prizepools. They have the softest fields and most amount of dead money. This is especially true in rebuy tournaments where many players fatten the pool by playing manically while others are dead money simply because they drop in the first hour. That being said, they are also the longest running tournaments on Stars. The $10k and $20k ($3 rebuys) can run about 10+ hours on average and the $5-10 rebuys can run anywhere from 7-10 hours.
If your goal is swift resolution then look toward the 180 and 360 player tournaments. Some of the mid buy-in non-guarantees can draw smaller fields at times but generally anything that's under $20 is going to attract a large enough field that the tournament will take at least 5 or more hours to complete. Even the 180s can run as many as 4+ hours in some (somewhat rare) cases. |

Playing $8 tourneys with a 2-3k roll would be retartartatered [/ QUOTE ] Should have read OP. With that, I generally play things for which I'm underolled (like the $50r, warmup, million) until I've dropped a grand and then hit the 20/180s. I've operated on this roll for about 10 months now. I play Horse and PLO8 STTs to buff the roll, although I'm not actually very good at PLO8 so I should quit that. I cash out and rapidly spend anything substantially over $2k but I should stop that really because playing 20/180s for roll is infinitely depressing. The 45s are also very +EV but I can rarely take it seriously. So you can do that, a vicious circle of meaningless diversion followed by retail therapy. Or you can be really disciplined, play sats to the big events, manage your roll, play the 20/180s and big nightlies. Stars offers you everything. Which is why I spend so much time there despite the fact that it is way less profitable than any of the euro sites. [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Stars |

Let me finish my thought: Playing $8 tourneys with a 2-3k roll would be retartartatered unless you have no life, like playing 20 tables at a time, have no ambition, and are outclassed at higher stakes. There. I think that covers it, hmm? |

Which tournaments can OP play in that fit within his time constraints but still don't defile your opinion on what a real poker player should do with his money? Lots of people have given useful advice here. You, on the other hand, have only been a jerk. You haven't changed at all. I almost think you should be banned again, only this time forever. You contribute nothing here. |

Re: Best overlays on Stars low buy-ins? Advice please
I'm not bashing OP at all, lol. I "bashed" a suggestion that was made, and then took a shot at Shaun because I don't much like him.
And just to have you know, someone at a table the other day said they liked my posts. So now tell me, how silly do you look saying I don't contribute anything? Hmmmm? But if you have $2k: play the 20/180s, play the 5r's, play the $20 guarantees. Take a couple shots at the $30s that run at weird times and are small fields, or the $33/360s. I mean, if you have to play donkaments that is. |
